Question

Im developing an Android app, and I need to periodically (a few times per second) execute some code from the UI thread, the Activity class.
I have seen similar problems like here Android repetitive task but what I need is to set my Activity as a listener and somehow listen to a timer, so that every X milliseconds the activity executes a method.

Something like this:

class myActivity extends Activity{
    //things

    //This method must be called every X milliseconds
    private repetitive_method(){
      ....
    }

    //more things
 }

Is there some recomended way to do this?
